Course Human resource management has always been a vital element in modern organization
Description locally or globally. More and more businesses are realizing the importance of HRM
today than ever. Managers can be equipped with enough resources like capital,
information, machinery etc. but still may fail to accomplish the goal because they fail to
bring in the right talent in required for the job. On the other hand a manager with very
limited resource may do the same job much effectively because he/she had the right
“people” for the job at the right time. This means the success of a manager lies in getting
the job through others.
This course is designed around the terms and concepts and modern theories and HR
practices that are well in practice today and are playing a major role in organizations.
Major topics in this course include an understanding of HRM, external and internal
factors affecting the HRM, HR planning, job analysis, job design, recruitment and
selection, HR training and development, performance appraisal and compensation, labor
relation, and labor disputes, and finally collective bargaining issues. This course will
offer a firm understanding of employer, employees, organization, our society, our
business practices, ethics, and discrimination in the job from different angles. Ample
examples will be provided and a number of case incidents will be discussed for better
understanding of the subject.
